Summary
Currently the General Education Māori subfield houses standards that were developed to
support past versions of Reo Māori immersion education curriculum documents – Pūtaiao,
Tikanga-ā-Iwi, Ngā Mahi Toi (no standards), Te Reo, Hauora, Hangarau, and Pāngarau.
With the alignment of standards exercise that is currently occurring with the development
of achievement standards for Te Marautanga o Aotearoa, a new subfield (and Domains)
will be developed in Field Māori to house the new achievement standards. As a result, the
standards currently listed in the General Education Māori subfield will either be expired, or
revised/reviewed and moved to other subfields within Field Māori.
The following unit standards have been reviewed and are being designated as expiring as
part of the registration of the new achievement standards – please see separate reports.
o Pāngarau unit standards 18306-18309
o Tikanga-ā-iwi unit standards 16039, 16040
o Pūtaiao unit standards 19530, 19534, 15984, 15989.
Māori Qualifications Services is making the initial move of the current General Education
standards to other domains within Field Māori. The standards will undergo a full review
following the mandatory review of the qualifications most closely associated with the
domains they have been placed in.
Main changes resulting from the reclassification, revision and rollover

All the unit standards listed above have been reclassified into new subfields and
domains.
